Tragedy or not

his stir the pot thing had me wondering for a minute.

Who knew one has to "stir" pot before smoking it. Must be a Washington thing . . . .

the real question is who buys Mitsubishi's anymore? The cars are worth more on the sea bed then they are sitting on stealership lots. Would not want to be the claim agent on that one. I wonder if their will be a salvage attempt.

Yeah, a little salt-water "spa" bath couldn't be much worse than a New England winter.

I can't think the cars are worth enough for salvage, and they wouldn't be salvageable as new vehicles.

Heck that ship coming over from Japan filled with Toyota's or something that tipped over and nearly capsized and sank but didn't and was salvaged. The entire lot of cars was scrapped even though a bunch of them didn't even get a drop of sea water on them. Simply because the company couldn't account for how the engine and transmission would function after spending days (weeks?) at a severe angle with fluids in them.

They should have asked some of us ancient Bangshifters from the Hi-Jacker '70s. We could tell 'em that they run just fine with the fluids at a "severe angle."


(An aesthetic tragedy)

That salvage operation was also an incredible tale. I read it online somewhere.. Worth the google.

big steel beats up the little stuff.
a ship to take on an angle or change weight in a hurry and tip..
I would not want anything japanese either.

I found my sube must have taken a ferry on a routine. It had the only sintered ea82 I have ever run...in fact that was its ending.
